I'm In Love With A Boy Named Frank

Gerard left school three days later, praying that he didn't make it. He was wrong. He checked the music room door.

Ohh, God, if I didn't make it....God I HOPE I didn't make it... He thought.

He stopped in his tracks, and paled. The list.

it read:

Dauntless.....Gerard Way
Winnifred.....Frank Iero

And many other roles were listed.

He moaned into his sleeve and ran to the car. Mikey was there waiting.

"Gee? What's wrong? You don't look well, do you want me to drive us home?" Mikey said worriedly.

Gerard swallowed thickly, "I'm fine Mikey."

"If you say so Gee," MIkey said, climbing into the car.

Gerard drove to the house and found his mom and grandma at the door.

Gerard ran inside. His mom stopped him.

"Gerard, you don't look well, are you OK? What's wrong?"

"I'm fine Mom. I well..." He paused. "I...."

"What?"

"I...made...the..play.." He mumbled.

"What? Can you speak up?"

"I..made the ....play.' He mumbled.

"Gerard, I'll never hear you if you don't speak up."

"I made the play!" He screamed in frustration.

Elena ran to him.

"Gerard! That's wonderful."

"No..its not..not good...."

"Why?"

"I didn't even want to try out, but now I landed a part and I'm stuck in it."

"What part? Honey?"

"The lead role," Gerard moaned. "I'm done for...."

Elena wrapped her arms around him.

"Gerard, the lead role! That's absolutely wonderful."

Gerard slunk into his room.

"Hey, Mom, is Gee going to be OK?" Mikey asked.

"He'll be fine, just give him some time, OK?"
